DESCRIPTION

Ramon’s favorite NIntendo characters. Features Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Toad, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Wario, Bowser, Rosalina and Luma, Link, Kirby, Pikachu, Roald the Penguin from Animal Crossing. The artist incorporated his Animal Crossing avatar on the right lower part.

Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Toad, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Bowser are mashups of their classic TV, video game, and modern appearances. The colors on Link’s attire are based on The Legend of Zelda game, Breath of the Wild. And the artist’s Animal Crossing avatar is based on his appearance in his self-portrait, No. 10 Ramon Evangelista and the Mysterious Mask.

All the characters have “jeweled eyes”. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Rosalina, Luma, Link, Pikachu, Roald, and Kirby, and Ramon have “masked-styled faces”. Bowser and Wario have the No.4 Bass Face “frets and eyebrows”. Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Diddy Kong have divisions on their snouts.

The lines are raised in relief.
